Arguably the definitive American movie about greed and paranoia, filmmaker John Huston's 1948 masterwork ranks No. 30 on the AFI's list of all-time greatest American movies and won three Academy Awards: one for John's father Walter's performance as a grizzled prospector and two for John (Best Director and Best Screenplay, adapted from B. Traven's novel). Though unnominated, Humphrey Bogart delivers one of his most memorable performances as the down-on-his-luck Fred C. Dobbs. A young and uncredited Robert Blake plays a Mexican boy whose lucky lottery ticket kick-starts the plot.
